And my new favorite character (not that I had one before.) is definitely Hiro! He deserves more credit for always being there to deal with Shuichi's problems as if they were his own. Overall it was still plenty amusing though, I had a great time watching it again. Like, couldn't they at least have drawn a different background whenever Bad Luck performs their song at a different venue? Lol. So many still frames, and repeated scenes. ^^ I'd totally forgotten how WEIRD this anime was! Starting from the first episode, what is up with that random live-action opener and photo backgrounds? And where does Shuichi get all of his random kigurumi and costumes!? And why do the characters look gorgeous in the opening and ending but they're off-model 90% of the time in the actual episodes? And not even mentioning the animation. Americans are just over-sensitive to that kind of stuff.' Haha =Pīut I digress. But when I explained that the rating was only because it had gay characters in it, she was like 'Oh, in that case it's fine. ), because I remember talking to my mom about buying the translated manga as well, which was labeled as '16+', while I wasn't 16 yet. I'm pretty sure I originally watched it back when I was about 14 or 15, (so over ten years ago._. My friends and I sang some of the songs at karaoke a couple of weeks ago, and that made me realize that while I still listen to the songs, I barely remember the story. Speaking of BL, I also re-watched the entirety of Gravitation recently. (Edit: Apparently I'm not the only one who noticed. ^^ Regardless, it's a nice and interesting read. It seriously makes me wonder if anybody has written any BL manga adaptations of the story. It does seem to take place in a similar era, and the way the student admires his 'Sensei' just reeks of BL. Basically? I can't help but picture the young student as someone like Yotaro and the 'Sensei' as someone like Yakumo from Rakugo Shinjuu, lol. I mean, the premise is like, 'naive university student gets obsessed with an older man and basically starts following him around and hanging out with him for no reason in particular, other than craving company and wanting to talk to him about deep topics'. Is there anyone else who's noticed that even though this is generally considered 'classic literature', it reads pretty much like a BL novel? Or at least, the first part does, so far.

I've been reading a translated version of Natsume Soseki's Kokoro on my commute lately, and.
